Glasgow, Castlemilk, Big Wood

Cairn (period Unassigned)(possible)

What is recorded here

Glasgow, Castlemilk, Big Wood holds a possible cairn, an unassigned heap of stones that may mark nothing at all or may preserve a life so old it predates human memory. The wood has swallowed every clue about when the stones first gathered, leaving behind a quiet puzzle instead of a fact. Perhaps someone dumped rubble there, perhaps someone buried a dead person, or perhaps the land simply moved rock into a shape that looks like intention.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Glasgow, Castlemilk, Big Wood as Cairn (period Unassigned)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
